The first step to achieving a CFSP designation is to create a NAFEM account or sign in if you already have an account, and enroll. Once enrolled, begin submitting industry activities for CFSP credit. You must accumulate 15 credits of industry experience approved by NAFEM before you can even purchase study materials. Not sure how many credits you have? Use our Credit Calculator (or download the worksheet) to estimate your current credit total.
Acceptable credits
Each item you submit for CFSP credit must have the required back-up documentation scanned and uploaded into NAFEM’s system. Accepted back-up documentation includes a copy of a badge, a copy of a certificate, a copy of a diploma, or something that clearly shows your name and the name/date of the event to directly prove participation.
Once 15 credits are approved, you can purchase CFSP study materials and begin studying for the exam. Each study bundle includes a CFSP Study Guide (print version and ebook), your exam, your certificate and the mandatory CFSP Online Overview. The CFSP Online Overview is organized into four modules. It tracks your progress as you earn virtual badges and additional credits each time a module is completed. Once fully completed, you earn a total of 20 CFSPs credits and can take the Online Exam. You must pass the exam with a score of 75% or higher within one year of purchase.
